Not so much today. It's in the upper 30s F so the snow is starting to melt. It's supposed to stay right above freezing over the weekend, with rain changing to freezing rain. Then the temps drop into single digits early next week. So it will be a cold Christmas around here.

I've been Boo'd... right off the stage!

Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

"That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

24 degrees right now. Supposed to get about eight inches of snow starting tomorrow evening. Glad. I'm off Sunday. Will have to drive home from work in it. That makes me nervous since I havent had much experience with it. Took tjis pic theother day. Clouds were so spectacular I had to stop. Wind was blowing like crazy, blowing snow around. I'm so glad I stopped. This is one of my best, I think. I'm very happy with it.

I did the right thing by setting you free
But the pain is very deep.
If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep. I miss you

I hear you whimper in your sleep
I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

After a week of below freezing temperatures and a trecherous snow and ice storm last Saturday, it hit 67 degrees today and we're looking at 70 degrees tomorrow. So much for the first day of winter, my favorite season.

You know what comes after "melting day" for dog owners don't you? Poop scooping day. After weeks of freezing cold and snow, there's plenty to scoop.

Yeah, the newly revealed "treasures"! But we had only enough melting for the minor stuff, and one small patch of grass lout back, much of the actual ground is still snow-covered for now! And, by the way, the "Melting Day" can be sung to the tune of "I Saw Three Ships A'Sailing In," one of the old Christmas Carols I still find pretty silly, even now. Um, kid was born in a stable in Bethlehem, which is after all, in a country/region that is - whatever it is called in whatever century - mostly desert.

It was -24C last night. the sun came out so we're hitting-19C today and I think we'll be lucky if the high hits -15C. Going back down to -25C tonight and Christmas day we're supposed to see a bit warmer.

Merry Christmas to all the PT's no matter what your temperatures might be... Christmas will make us forget this cold.
